I Lost My Blog!

Alright. I suppose I deserved this. With good intentions, I started this blog last summer and then promptly abandoned it. As a result, I lost it. Well, temporarily. I suppose if that is the only thing I lose this year, I should be thankful. (Well, I would like to lose a bit of weight, but that is a whole different story!)
When I began this blog, I really wanted to use it to explore and record a new stage in my life, one in which I have "graduated" from the hands- on parenting, which has occupied most of the last 20 years, into new adventures. My focus is changing and with it there comes new opportunities to use the time that is before me. Opportunities to learn, develop new skills and maybe even spend a little time learning to appreciate just being still. This is a time to develop new relationships and enrich old ones, to finish tasks that have been left undone, to grow talents that I may have not even been aware of having! It is a time to focus on physical, mental and spiritual health in a way that the busy-ness of life as a "stay-at-home" mom did not allow me to do. And, it is a great time to find out how I can contribute to my family, my community, my world in a new way!
If you are ready for a little bit of reflection, some self-examination and a new adventure, please join me on this journey!
